+[![Crates.io version](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/spin.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/spin)
+[![docs.rs](https://docs.rs/spin/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/spin/)
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mvdnes/spin-rs.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/mvdnes/spin-rs)
+
+Spin-based synchronization primitives.
+
+This crate provides [spin-based](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinlock)
+versions of the primitives in `std::sync`. Because synchronization is done
+through spinning, the primitives are suitable for use in `no_std` environments.
+
+Before deciding to use `spin`, we recommend reading
+[this superb blog post](https://matklad.github.io/2020/01/02/spinlocks-considered-harmful.html)
+by [@matklad](https://github.com/matklad/) that discusses the pros and cons of
+spinlocks. If you have access to `std`, it's likely that the primitives in
+`std::sync` will serve you better except in very specific circumstances.
+
+## Features
+
+- `Mutex`, `RwLock`, `Once`, `Lazy` and `Barrier` equivalents
+- Support for `no_std` environments
+- [`lock_api`](https://crates.io/crates/lock_api) compatibility
+- Upgradeable `RwLock` guards
+- Guards can be sent and shared between threads
+- Guard leaking
+- Ticket locks
+- Different strategies for dealing with contention
+
+## Usage
+
+Include the following under the `[dependencies]` section in your `Cargo.toml` file.
+
+```toml
+spin = "x.y"
+```
+
+## Example
+
+When calling `lock` on a `Mutex` you will get a guard value that provides access
+to the data. When this guard is dropped, the mutex will become available again.
+
+```rust
+extern crate spin;
+use std::{sync::Arc, thread};
+
+fn main() {
+ let counter = Arc::new(spin::Mutex::new(0));
+
+ let thread = thread::spawn({
+ let counter = counter.clone();
+ move || {
+ for _ in 0..100 {
+ *counter.lock() += 1;
+ }
+ }
+ });
+
+ for _ in 0..100 {
+ *counter.lock() += 1;
+ }
+
+ thread.join().unwrap();
+
+ assert_eq!(*counter.lock(), 200);
+}
+```
+
+## Feature flags
+
+The crate comes with a few feature flags that you may wish to use.
+
+- `mutex` enables the `Mutex` type.
+
+- `spin_mutex` enables the `SpinMutex` type.
+
+- `ticket_mutex` enables the `TicketMutex` type.
+
+- `use_ticket_mutex` switches to a ticket lock for the implementation of `Mutex`. This
+ is recommended only on targets for which ordinary spinning locks perform very badly
+ because it will change the implementation used by other crates that depend on `spin`.
+
+- `rwlock` enables the `RwLock` type.
+
+- `once` enables the `Once` type.
+
+- `lazy` enables the `Lazy` type.
+
+- `barrier` enables the `Barrier` type.
+
+- `lock_api` enables support for [`lock_api`](https://crates.io/crates/lock_api)
+
+- `std` enables support for thread yielding instead of spinning.
+
+- `portable_atomic` enables usage of the `portable-atomic` crate
+ to support platforms without native atomic operations (Cortex-M0, etc.).
+ The `portable_atomic_unsafe_assume_single_core` cfg or `critical-section` feature
+ of `portable-atomic` crate must also be set by the final binary crate.
+
+ When using the cfg, this can be done by adapting the following snippet to the `.cargo/config` file:
+ ```
+ [target.<target>]
+ rustflags = [ "--cfg", "portable_atomic_unsafe_assume_single_core" ]
+ ```
+ Note that this cfg is unsafe by nature, and enabling it for multicore systems is unsound.
+
+ When using the `critical-section` feature, you need to implement the critical-section
+ implementation that sound for your system by implementing an unsafe trait.
+ See [the documentation for the `portable-atomic` crate](https://docs.rs/portable-atomic/latest/portable_atomic/#optional-cfg)
+ for more information.
+
+## Remarks
+
+It is often desirable to have a lock shared between threads. Wrapping the lock in an
+`std::sync::Arc` is route through which this might be achieved.
+
+Locks provide zero-overhead access to their data when accessed through a mutable
+reference by using their `get_mut` methods.
+
+The behaviour of these lock is similar to their namesakes in `std::sync`. they
+differ on the following:
+
+- Locks will not be poisoned in case of failure.
+- Threads will not yield to the OS scheduler when encounter a lock that cannot be
+ accessed. Instead, they will 'spin' in a busy loop until the lock becomes available.
+
+Many of the feature flags listed above are enabled by default. If you're writing a
+library, we recommend disabling those that you don't use to avoid increasing compilation
+time for your crate's users. You can do this like so:
+
+```
+[dependencies]
+spin = { version = "x.y", default-features = false, features = [...] }
+```
+
+## Minimum Safe Rust Version (MSRV)
+
+This crate is guaranteed to compile on a Minimum Safe Rust Version (MSRV) of 1.38.0 and above.
+This version will not be changed without a minor version bump.
